Stand Up

I was too scared to let people hear me I never spoke up, I was too afraid The days went by and I just stayed in silence Nobody knew my pain I wasn't growing, I was dying slowly I knew I'd never make it if I didn't change I had to learn about the strength inside me And throw the mask away Stand up to the ones who hurt you Stand up, don't you be afraid Don't let anybody keep you silent Stand up, stand up, stand up Stand up for the sake of freedom Speak up, let them see your face Don't let anybody keep you silent Stand up, stand up, stand up I'm talking to you Stand up, stand up, stand up It's getting better every day I'm breathing My lips may tremble but they still will speak my mind In every trial, every changing season I won't keep it inside, no, no 'Cause I am stronger than the fears within me I have a voice and I deserve to let it sing All of the joy, all of the pain around me It's time to let me love Stand up to the ones who hurt you Stand up, don't you be afraid Don't let anybody keep you silent Stand up, stand up, stand up Stand up for the sake of freedom Speak up, let them see your face Don't let anybody keep you silent Stand up, stand up, stand up Stand up I'm talking to you, you Stand up, stand up, stand up, hey And tell the truth about the way you feel Don't let anybody keep you silent Stand up, stand up, stand up
